Best Counters to Iron Man
How to Counter Iron Man
Iron Man has 250 health and gets only 50 bonus health from Armor Overdrive, so pressure him right after its 10 seconds run out, when his shots get weaker and draw from limited ammo again. He has no crowd control and no self-healing, which is why divers who reach him quickly, like Magik and Black Panther, can catch him with nothing to push them away. When the Invincible Pulse Cannon warning appears, leave the shell's path and spread out, since the explosion covers a 10 m radius.
